VR Mud Modling

There are two parts to VRMUD. The first is a 3D input devices created by using two cameras. This device and some applications can be found in the

HCI Report

The second part of VRMUD is a Mud Modeler/Scene Designer. This part of VRMUD is designed to work with the 3D input device.

Basic Idea

Take a mud blobby, and form it into a shape.

Details

Using a 3D input device, implement a modling program which allows the user to mold and shape a 3 dimentional object. This object will be created out of a wire mesh. Interaction of the maluable shape with realistic physical properties, like bending, streching, and squishing. For example, one possible idea would be to simulate a potter's wheel by spinning a block of clay and letting the user mold it interactively.
